His dog was on a lead at first. Mine was'nt. Mine started trying to play with his. He said other dogs all tried to play with his dog and was ok with some not all and that it was 19 months old. He must have felt ok as he then let his dog off the lead so they could roll around together. Which they did for a minute until another playful dog run over and tried to join in. As soon as the man spotted the other dog running over to them he tried to call his dog back, so he must have known it had a tendency to go beserk, it then turned agressive in a split second and was trying to kill mine. My dogs got deep teeth puncture marks on the top of his head and under his jaw, and im so lucky as hes had a very lucky escape. The owner never said a thing. The other dog owner who saved him said get him to the vets right away as hed bitten to the bone, which i did right away.

Daizie,


I'm glad your little dog has survived. What an awful experience. My advice is give anything that looks like a bull breed or oriental fighting breed (Staffs and Staff/pit/Am staff types, American Bulldogs, EBT's, Mastiffs, Akitas and Shar Peis) a very wide berth. Unless I know the owner and dog extremely well I would simply walk in the opposite direction as soon as possible. It sounds draconian and I know that it is grossly unfair on those people that own properly socialised and well bred bull breeds but currently, for the most part, many owners and their bull/molosser type dogs are frankly dodgy. You are just safer to steer clear.


It is a shame that these dogs and their owners are casting a pall over dog ownership in general. Walking the dog used to be a joy and relaxing, now you have to scan the horizon to make sure you are not going to bump into the wrong dog. With a dog as small as yours you should also be aware that some sight hounds can flip from friendly game into prey game on.

What first mate said.

I never let my off-lead dog approach an on-lead dog in the park at all- it's on a lead for a reason.-and I'm assuming that dog is not OK to mix. The guy probably knew this, but seeing him get on with your dog thought it was OK. A third dog coming in can change the dynamics compeletly. A nervous dog afraid of the new dog might actually turn on his playmate as an aggressive displacement activity.

I don't let my dog play with dogs he doesnt know unless introduced -or small dogs- but if he is playing nicely and a third dog comes into the picture, I call him away. Also in play it is important for owners of all the dogs involved to be in control of their dogs and for their dogs to have good recall.

Spot on Huggers .

Ive never had a problem walking dog round Peckham Rye Common, off lead, for eight years. Ive probably been lucky. He is very playful and approaches most dogs, but if one snaps or growls, he will then leave it alone . So he does know some are not to be messed with. This was unfortunate but he will be ok , thanks to that guy.

I will be much more wary in future .

      Tree Killer – Seeking Advice on Dealing with Toxic Neighbours

      He did mention it's share of freehold, I’d be very cautious with that. It can turn into a nightmare if relationships with neighbours break down. My brother had a share of freehold in a flat in West Hampstead, and when he needed to sell, the neighbour refused to sign the transfer of the freehold. What followed was over two years of legal battles, spiralling costs and constant stress. He lost several potential buyers, and the whole sale fell through just as he got a job offer in another city. It was a complete disaster. The neighbour was stubborn and uncooperative, doing everything they could to delay the process. It ended in legal deadlock, and there was very little anyone could do without their cooperation. At that point, the TA6 form becomes the least of your worries; it’s the TR1 form that matters. Without the other freeholder’s signature on that, you’re stuck. After seeing what my brother went through, I’d never touch a share of freehold again. When things go wrong, they can go really wrong. If you have a share of freehold, you need a respectful and reasonable relationship with the others involved; otherwise, it can be costly, stressful and exhausting. Sounds like these neighbours can’t be reasoned with. There’s really no coming back from something like this unless they genuinely apologise and replace the trees and plants they ruined. One small consolation is that people who behave like this are usually miserable behind closed doors. If they were truly happy, they’d just get on with their lives instead of trying to make other people’s lives difficult. And the irony is, they’re being incredibly short-sighted. This kind of behaviour almost always backfires.

      I had some time with him recently at the local neighbourhood forum and actually was pretty impressed by him, I think he's come a long way.
